Noble Peace Prize winner Mother Teresa is remarkably quoted “It is not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving”.
Cheerful giving is such a key generous act that it beautifully satisfies the hearts of either parties at hand – the giver and receiver.
Fast sprouting St Julian Sports Academy is a recipient of an assortment of balls from the International School of Uganda (ISU) Lubowa.
MS Haidee Buzu, a personal assistant to head teacher of ISU delivered the balls for football, volleyball and basketball.
Buzu who is a also a parent of St Julian High School Gayaza, delivered the balls during the senior one (S1) and senior (S6) visitation day on 25thOctober 2025.
While handing over the balls to the institution’s sports manager, Buzu said that she was inspired by Swaibu Mbuga (sports manager at St Julian Sports Academy), who approached her to register her daughter in the sports project.
“When I brought my daughter back in second term, I was approached by the sports manager, and when I went back to my workplace (International School of Uganda), I shared the inspiration by our athletics director (Brendan Tobin) who picked interest and promised to support where need be”. Stated Ms.Buzu.
“We are donating these balls not because you can’t afford buying them but because of the inspiration and Mr. Brendan has promised to extend more support to the project.” she added.
Sports Manager Mbuga received the balls on behalf of St. Julian Sports Academy, and he couldn’t hide his excitement.
“This donation has come as a surprise, and it will keep us going and determined because we take it as a sign of appreciation from people out of institution.” remarked Mbuga.
“We initiated this project to give opportunities to every student because sports is for all. Many children out there have dreams in sports, but the challenge is how they get where they want to go, and here we come to eradicate the outcry at the St Julian Schools community.” He added.
